New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine in Jamnagar today, as part of his three-day tour to Gujarat.
The Ministry of Ayush and the Government of Gujarat held a press conference yesterday to discuss two important developments in India's traditional medicine field: the groundbreaking event of the WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine (GCTM) and the convening of the Global Ayush Investment and Innovation Summit (GAIIS). Both ceremonies will take place in Gujarat and will be attended by Prime Minister Modi, Prime Minister of Mauritius Pravind Jugnauth, and WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus, according to an official announcement from the Ministry of Ayush.
The first of its kind in the world, the WHO Global Centre for Traditional Medicine, will open in Jamnagar on April 19. The Centre's goal is to utilize traditional medicine's potential by combining it with technological breakthroughs and evidence-based research. The new Centre will be based in Jamnagar, but it will engage and benefit the entire world. To maximise conventional medicine's contribution to global health, the GCTM will focus on four core strategic areas: evidence and learning, data and analytics, sustainability and equity, and innovation and technology.
The Global Ayush Investment and Innovation Summit will take place in Gandhinagar from April 20 to 22. The goal of the Summit is to increase investment and highlight breakthroughs in traditional medicine. It's a one-of-a-kind effort to build long-term relationships, increase exports, and maintain a healthy ecology.
